<p>I'm looking at transferring to Gettysburg for fall 2007. Unfortunately, I was just at the battlefield in October and didn't tour the college, though I did drive around it a little bit.</p>
<p>First, can someone tell me a bit about the college's Lutheran affiliation? How does it show itself on campus? Are campus events held in a chapel? Are there prayers at any time?</p>
<p>Also, the endowment is relatively small when compared to the other LACs I'm looking at, though the tuition is lower than most. How decent is financial aid?</p>
<p>Finally, I'm from Connecticut, and would likely want to go home multiple times a year. Although I was just down there, it was part of a week-long road trip, and therefore it's hard for me to guesstimate the driving distance directly back to Hartford. Is there anyone from New York City/New England who can give me an estimate? How far away is Gettysburg from the nearest Interstate? I know the town itself was nice, if a bit sleepy, but it was pouring when I was there and we barely did anything, so I can't even remember how long it took us to move on to the next place. Any insight is appreciated.</p>
